Community welcomes home EFMP screening matches

510th PSB Soldiers
By Diana Bahr
22nd ASG Public Affairs
“We are one team, one family,
one community, and one fight when
it comes to the Global War on
Terror,” said Col. Donald G.
Drummer, 22nd Area Support
Group commander Thursday, during
the Welcome Home party thrown at
Club V for the Soldiers of
Detachment D, 510th Personnel
Services Battalion. Whether it’s
sending 1,700 Soldiers to fight, or
seven, we are enormously proud of
their duty and sacrifice, added Col.
Drummer.
One by one, Col. Drummer
called out a name, and brought up a
member of the small unit that
recently returned from duty in
Balad, Iraq. The crowd cheered as
the Soldiers formed a line in front
of the room and stood ready to
celebrate their safe return to the
Caserma Ederle community.
As the last of the Soldiers came
to the front, Col. Drummer told the
crowd, “You’ll notice that these
Soldiers are led by a chief warrant
officer. And we all know that when
a warrant officer speaks, the job gets
done and gets done right. So let’s
let them know how proud we are of
their service.”
With that, the crowd jumped to
their feet, cheered and applauded the
line of Soldiers.
Col. Drummer then turned the
microphone over to Chief Warrant
Officer Christopher Immormino,
commander of Det. D, 510th PSB.
“I’m sure I speak for the group
when I say we’re glad to be back in
bella Italia, back in civilization, and
back with our families and friends,”
said Immormino. “Thank you for all
your support during our
deployment.”
The crowd then surrounded the
Soldiers, shook their hands and
thanked them for their service, and
asked about they experiences in Iraq.
The Soldiers were assigned to
Logistics Support Area Anaconda,
located in Balad, Iraq, about 90
kilometers northwest of Baghdad.
Balad is ground zero for Ba’ath
Party sentiment in Iraq. About 80
percent of the attacks against
coalition forces occur in this triangle
area formed by Baghdad, Tikrit and
Ar Ramadi. The paramilitary activity
centers around the Tigris River
between Baghdad and Saamara,
more than 100 kilometers to the
north. Balad falls right in the middle
of that zone, earning it the nickname,
“Mortar-itaville.”
“The hardest part was adjusting
to the lifestyle,” said the youngest
member of the detachment, Pfc.
Delilah Wesley. “We were slammed
by mortars three, four, sometimes six
times a day. You never got used to
it. And you were always on edge—
never knowing when the next round
was coming your way, or where it
would land.”
The 510th PSB is Wesley’s first
duty assignment out of Advanced
Individual Training. “I was here a
month and left for Iraq,” said the 19-
year-old native of Chicago. “The
best part of the deployment was
getting ready to return to Italy.”
Wesley had a few words of
encouragement for her fellow
Soldiers who may find themselves
in Iraq, “It’s not as bad as the stories
you hear,” she said. “Don’t let the
stories turn you away from what you
want to do with your life. You just
have to find a way to make the best
of the situation.”
A fellow Soldier, Spc. Trent
Hayes, echoed Wesley’s sentiments,
adding, “Don’t get lax out there, stay
alert to your surroundings,” he said.
“Soldiers who let themselves get lax
about their surroundings found
themselves injured—or worse.
Never let your guard down and stay
safe.”
While force protection was
definitely an issue the Soldiers dealt
with on a daily basis, they also
agreed that the living conditions
were better than they expected.

needs with services
IMA-Europe
New Release
S oldiers with exceptional
family members can help
ensure their next assignment in
Europe or elsewhere has the
services they need through the
Exceptional Family Member
Program.
A critical part of the Soldier’s
assignment process is for the
family to go through EFMP
screening. Assignment managers
consider the special education and
medical needs of family members
in the assignment of Soldiers.
“The Army family with special
needs should actively seek out the
EFMP manager in their
community before their next move
to ensure they are provided
information as part of the
assignments process,” said Mr.
William A. Cannon, the HQs
IMA-E EFMP coordinator. “The
Soldier or spouse can play a
critical role in making sure their
family’s requirements are
considered in advance, so that
their next duty location will have
the types of services available they
need.”
The EFMP is designed to
provide a comprehensive, multi-
agency approach that brings
together the breadth of
community support in terms of
housing, medical care, and
schooling to provide a
coordinated approach to meet the
special needs of a family. It is
important for both Soldiers and
spouses to be knowledgeable
about the program.
The EFMP manager
coordinates all components of the
program
The EFMP manager is there
for assistance from arrival until
time for a PCS move. The EFMP
manager is a vital link to assist
the family in linking up with the
required services upon arrival,
and at PCS, to assist in ensuring
the departing family has secured
all needed documents for their
next duty assignment, including
connecting them with the EFMP
manager at the new post.
“Families need to know that
having an exceptional family
member does not affect s
Soldier’s career,” explained
Cannon. “Soldiers are not
penalized in regards to
promotions, schools, or
deployments because they have
an exceptional family member.
Being enrolled in EFMP only
means the family’s needs are
considered in the assignment
process.”

“Caring for a family member with special
needs can be overwhelming and knowing that
resources are available can be comforting,”
continues Cannon. “The EFMP manager in
each community serves as an advocate in
resolving problems and assists the family by
developing support groups and providing
education programs. Very often families are not
sure of their rights and responsibilities, and the
EFMP manager can help. EFMP managers are
available if a family member wishes for them
to jointly attend agency or school meetings,
explain and help fill out forms, make referrals,
or just point them in the right direction.”
All community services must be accessible
to those with disabilities. If EFMP managers
are made aware of an accessibility issue, they
can work to ensure exceptional family members
are accommodated.

Issue: I think the new system of using the
parking lot behind the Golden Lion is a
definite improvement. My concern however
is the visibility and proximity of the buses to
the heavily traveled Via Aldo Moro. Is there
any plan to raise the height of the existing
fence to ensure more privacy?
Response from Force Protection: We
are aware of the closeness of the buses to
Aldo Moro Street, this is why we have moved
the buses away from the fence line and also
have a foot patrol that monitors when the
buses arrive on the installation.
Additional response from Office of the
Provost Marshal: Thank you for your
observations and recommendations to
improve our FP program. Fortunately, the
fence line that runs along Aldo Moro is
An important part of the assignment process
overseas is the EFMP
“Participation in the EFMP screening
process is especially critical overseas to ensure
the particular resources in a specific community
match the family’s needs,” Cannon continued.
“While enrollment is mandatory by regulation,
families with special needs will find it beneficial
to seek out the program themselves. This is
particularly true for Soldiers requesting a
continuous overseas tour, intra-theater transfer
or Foreign Service tour extension. Soldiers and
family members should contact the EFMP
manager for information or if they have
questions about the program.”
EFMP managers are located in ACS centers

covered with a green material that restricts
observation from outside and is also topped
with razor wire. Unfortunately, we are
severely limited when it comes to finding
space away from the fence line that would
accommodate an alternate bus drop off and
pick-up point.
At this time, we are working with the
Directorate of Public Works to raise the
height of the fence. For additional security,
we currently have the Italian military
providing security at Gate #3 during the bus
arrivals in the morning.
Issue: Could DPW or DOL put signs up
directing folks to the Eco Center and
theHousing Office?
Response from Directorate of Public
Works: We have recently received the signs
for the Eco-Center and they will be installed
soon. We are working on additional signs to
help direct customers to the site.
We believe that these signs should be
sufficient to guide customers to the Eco-
Center as well as to serve as a reminder to
every one that the Eco-Center is their to assist
them in proper disposal and recycling.
We are also aware of the difficulty people
have in finding Housing and signs will be
erected soon.
Issue: My comment is about sponsors
for families arriving here in Vicenza. Some
of the folks I have spoken to said that they
didn’t have sponsors when they arrived. I
would like to make a suggestion that there is
something set up where families can
volunteer to be sponsors.
Response from G-1: The sponsorship
program currently in place provides direct
and immediate contact with incoming
soldiers as soon as their assignments are
510th from Page 1
“I was surprised by the fact that we lived
in an air-conditioned building, not tents,” said
Immormino, a veteran of the first Gulf War.
“When I compare this deployment to what I
endured in ’91, this was much better. Also,
the fact that we had Internet access, sporadic
confirmed. The G1 sends an electronic
welcome letter to the soldier at his or her
Army Knowledge Online account. The letter
identifies the unit to which the soldier will
be assigned and contains sponsorship related
information and associated web sites.
Issue: What is the procedure for spouses
to get fuel coupons for Germany while the
Soldier is deployed. The sign at the cashier
cage says to show TDY or leave orders. A
spouse will not have either, but may still want
to travel to Germany.
Response from AAFES: German gas
coupons are rationed in the same way that
Italian coupons are. If your vehicle is
authorized 300 or 400 liters per month in
Italian gas you are also authorized 300 or 400
German coupons. TDY rations are issued to
those on official TDY with accompanying
orders. The deployment will not affect this
policy.
Issue:Why does AAFES not staff the
cashier cage with more than one person at
the beginning of the month? The line on Oct.
1 was very long and there was only one
cashier present.
Response from AAFES: We are very
much aware of the congestion at the cash
cage on the first of the month. This is largely
driven by the availability of gas coupons on
this day. We do try to prepare ahead of time
to ensure that this area is fully staffed.
However, sickness and vacation does
negatively impact this along with the
mandated set schedules of our Italian
workforce.
By AAFES regulations this area of the
store is strictly controlled and only limited
access allowed, which makes cross training
difficult.

that it was, made it easier to stay in touch with
loved ones. You didn’t feel quite so out-of-

The Soldiers will all be in touch with the
loved ones as the end of the party started their
block leave.
There are 11 associates assigned to the
vault and cash cage and upon review of the
schedules for Oct. 1, 10 out of the 11
employees worked this day, distributed
throughout the day with emphasis on our
peak periods.
AAFES is currently discussing with the
Navy the option of relaxing the date of issue
of the gas coupons to allow overlap which
would assist in alleviating the first of the
month congestion.
Issue: Where do you get local telephone
books from?
Response from Directorate of
Community Activities: TELECOM
ITALIA makes phone books and yellow
pages available to its subscribers on an
annual basis. Phone books and yellow pages
are delivered in the May–June time frame.
Printing and distribution is done by a
contractor (SEAT), which charges €1.50 for
delivery and is billed on the customer’s phone
bill.

coordinate deliveries to Villaggio della Pace
or make phone books available at an alternate
location.
Customers awaiting delivery may also use
the following Web sites below:

n times of uncertainty, it’s easy to
become anxious and afraid about
things we can’t control, like whether
a natural disaster will strike or if there will
be a new terrorist attack. One way of dealing
with this fear is trying to concentrate on
things we can control. And while it’s
impossible to fully protect your family from
a random act of terrorism or a natural disaster,
there are things you can do to keep your
family safe and prepared for emergencies in
general. Developing a family emergency plan
is one way to take control.

that will not make children more anxious.
You might say, “It’s important to talk about
what we would do in an emergency, like if
there was a fire or a flood or some other
disaster. That way we can be prepared as a
family and stay together.”
• Post emergency telephone numbers
— including police, fire, Poison Control,
school, work, and important family members.
Post these numbers in a centrally located
place. You may also want to give children a
list of numbers where you and other family
members can be reached to carry with them
in their school bag or wallet. Teach children
how and when to call for help.
• Choose a meeting place where the
whole family can meet in the event of an
emergency. You may want to choose two
places: One near your home for use in a
sudden emergency, such as a fire, and a
second place outside of your neighborhood
in case people can’t get home.

may want to ask an out-of-state family
member or friend to be your family’s
emergency contact. It’s often easier to call
long distance in an emergency situation, and
you and your family can call this person and
tell them where you are.
• Discuss what to do in an evacuation
situation. Talk about how you’d meet, and
how you’d leave your home or the area.
• Plan on how you’d take care of your
pets. If your plan involves bringing pets with
you in an emergency situation, make sure that
you have a crate or something to carry them
in. Also make sure that you have enough pet
food and extra water stored away to care for
a pet.
• Talk to each family member who’s
old enough about how and when to turn off
utilities (water, gas, and electricity) at the
main switches. Go through the process with
each person and let them actually see the
switches. You may also want to post
instructions near the utility switches. Also
take the time to talk about when and why
your home and property to make sure that
it’s adequate.
• Install smoke detectors and fire
extinguishers on each level of your home and
check the batteries on a regular basis.
• Go through your house with family
members and determine the best escape
routes from every room. Repeat this process
with all family members on a regular basis.
• Talk to your neighbors about
helping each other in an emergency. You may
be able to work out a plan to help care for
each other’s pets or property.

Larry Kilgore, 22nd Area Support Group Force Protection
program manager is suggesting to members of the Vicenza
military community.
“These antiterrorism measures reflect the world environment
and a threat, based on transnational, rather than local activities,”
said Kilgore. “The keys to individual protective measures are
increased awareness and avoiding unnecessary risks.”
A few of the things that identify Americans and members
of a military community are American-made automobiles with
stickers of all types pasted on them from “My Child is a Honor
Student,” to others that are unsightly to many in our community
off and on the installation, said Kilgore. For some, clothing
choices and actions can reflect and enforce the stereotype of
the ‘ugly American.’
Be polite and dress as you would if going to a relative’s
house, not to a rock concert, suggests Kilgore.
To those who live on the local economy, be careful where

Protective Measures,’ said Kilgore. Varying daily routines to
avoid habitual patterns and varying travel times and routes to

provides.
Each unit has a Force Protection unit advisor who can
provide more information if needed. Individuals, as well as units
and Family Readiness Groups, may obtain copies of the booklet
from Kilgore or Albertina Littleton in their office in Building
109 on Caserma Ederle.
Kilgore added the command has written policies for wearing
uniforms off the installation, what to wear when eating at off-
base establishments in uniform, and authorized road marching
and running routes throughout Vicenza. This information may
be obtained from Perry Doerr in SETAF Operations at 634-
8670.
Enforcement of this policy must be a daily event, said
Kilgore.
The multiple levels and variety of support from Italian law
enforcement, and other Italian government agencies, should be
reassuring to all our community members, Kilgore added.

Vicenza health clinic adds doctors, patient hours

By Amber Heston
SAIC/TRICARE Medical Service
Coordinator
The next time you come to
Vicenza’s U.S. Army Health Clinic
for an appointment, chances are
your visit may be with a primary
care manager you have never seen
before.
As goes the military way of life,
the health clinic welcomed primary
care physicians Maj. Bruce Beech,
Maj. Theresa Benchoff, Dr. Jerry
Hersh, and Capt. Jacqueline Naylor
to the Vicenza community this fall.
Capt. Jacqueline Naylor
“I am excited about being in
Italy,” Naylor said. “The Vicenza
health clinic family has welcomed
me with open arms.”
A family physician, Naylor
practices family medicine of all
types – obstetrics, gynecology,
minor surgery, pediatric and
adolescent medicine.
Aside from possessing a great
deal of medical knowledge, Naylor
also boasts a bit of luck –
demonstrated by landing Vicenza
as her first Army duty station.
“I look forward to experiencing
the culture, learning the language,
the great food, and traveling!” she
said.
Dr. Jerry Hersh
Italy is just one of the global
destinations Hersh’s career in
medicine has taken him.
After spending 20 years as a
board-certified family practitioner
in private practice in Ithaca, N.Y.,
Hersh served in Moscow,
Washington D.C. and Buenos Aires
as a regional medical officer for the
Department of State.
He has also spent many years
teaching medical studies at two
universities.
Maj. Theresa Benchoff
The most recent place Benchoff
hung her beret was the Pentagon
Health Clinic, where she was a
family physician.
Prior to the Pentagon, she served
as the battalion surgeon for 1st
Brigade, 25th Stryker Brigade
Combat Team at Ft. Lewis, Wash.
As one of Vicenza’s newest
family physicians, Benchoff will
provide pediatric, obstetric,
gynecologic, minor surgical, and
adult medical care services.
Maj. Bruce Beech
Beech’s credits include not only
serving the military, but working as
a civilian family doctor as well as a
high school teacher.

Safety Countermeasure
Are you prepared for driving in winter weather conditions?
Safety Office
22nd Area Support Group
The potential for freezing rain, snow, and icy conditions
can and should be expected in Italy during the winter
months. If these hazardous driving conditions do not
present themselves this week they will surely come before
winter is over.
Winter driving can be inconvenient, annoying, even
infuriating. These aggravations can be minimized along
with the hazards of winter weather if you are prepared
and most importantly drive according to the conditions –
meaning slow down, stay alert and drive defensively.
Be ready for the following conditions:
ICE – Expect icy conditions any time the outside air
temperature reaches 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
Although water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, road
surface can freeze when the air temperature drops to 40
degrees or less.
An important place to watch for this condition is on
bridges. Bridge surfaces are exposed to the wind and cool
off faster than the rest of the road. You should also be
alert for icy conditions on roads through shaded areas
where a cold wind can freeze a wet road surface.
WHITE ICE – Snow that has been compacted during
the day and has slightly melted will freeze at night. Usually
this white ice can be seen on the road.
When traveling on white ice, drive very slowly. Make
sure you have chains if you plan a trip to the mountains.
If you get stuck in the snow and don’t have chains you
may be fined, and you will have to pay a towing fee as
well.
If you don’t have chains and the conditions begin to
worsen, get off the road until conditions improve and it is
safe to proceed.
BLACK ICE – Black ice is clear water
that has frozen on black pavement. It
usually forms below overpasses, on
bridges, in areas that are
surrounded by landscape or
where water may be running
across pavement.
Black ice commonly occurs in
low, shaded areas where the
road surface starts to freeze
at night. You usually cannot
see this ice until the vehicle
is already on it.
Just because you have been
driving on dry, clear pavement
doesn’t mean you won’t hit a patch of
black ice. Melting snow along side a
highway is and excellent source for black ice.
FOG – Limited or reduced visibility is one
of the most dangerous hazards of winter driving.
Fog in and around the Vicenza and throughout the
Veneto Region can be very dangerous during the fall,
winter, and spring.
Pockets of dense fog can reduce visibility down to 50
feet or less. Drivers must not out-drive the prevailing
visibility.
Keep your vehicle speed and your ability to react in
tact in case you come upon a potential hazard.
In fog, keep your lights on dim and turn
fog lights on if you have them. Be
especially alert for pedestrians
walking on streets and country roads
during periods of reduced visibility.
School children walk on the secondary
roads in the early morning hours and
early afternoons – be alert for them!
Most everyone lives within 10
miles of Caserma Ederle. If you
speed during hazardous
conditions, or anytime for that
matter, you are increasing you
chances of being involved in a
vehicle related accident.
The seconds or minutes you might save
aren’t worth the grief you will have if you are the
cause of an accident.
For further information on this or other safety
issues, contact the 22nd Area Support Group Safety
Office at 634-8109.

Getting change
Where do our pennies go?
SETAF Public Affairs
Did you ever look at your receipt from
the commissary or PX and wonder where
those pennies are that you don’t get back
in that handful of change?
After a 3-year assignment, those
pennies can really add up. Well, wonder
no longer.
The story starts sometime back in the
mid-1970’s when someone submitted a
suggestion that the military overseas
would save money by limiting the use of
pennies in all of its commercial activities.
This is based on the fact that shipping
pennies from the U.S. to Europe costs the
U.S. Government more than the dollar
value of the pennies themselves. It was
simply cost effective to limit the usage of
pennies.
The suggestion was adopted and the
use of pennies was limited sometime in
the mid-to-late 1970’s. The Air Force also
adopted the suggestion also.
In 1992 when the Defense
Commissary Agency started, they learned
the Navy commissaries were still using
pennies. DeCA and other Morale, Welfare
and Recreation activities were being
charged $136 for a shipment of $100
worth of pennies to Europe. Navy
locations are now under the limitation as
well.
Even though patrons will not receive
pennies back in their change, they may
give them as part of the bill. Instead of
giving pennies, cashiers round either up
or down to the nearest nickel.
For example, if the total sale is $12.36
or $12.37, then round down to $12.25.
And if the total sale is $12.38 or $12.39,
then round up to $12.50. If your total
purchase ends in a 1,2, 8, or 9, your total
purchase will be rounded to the nearest
dime. The ‘round-up, round-down’ policy
is only used for cash purchases.
Last year, AAFES paid 229.7 million
to MWR funds. Every cent goes back to
the customer in one form or another.
Guidance is in writing as part of DeCA
Europe’s policies. The limitation on
pennies is permanent.
Editor’s Note: This was an issue taken
up with the Community Action Council
Nov. 10. Information was provided by
DeCA and AAFES.

Categories of
Italian wines
Reading an Italian wine label is
usually straightforward – there’s
the winery name, perhaps the
vineyard, the year the wine was
made, and an abbreviation: DOC,
DOCG or the phrase Vino da
Tavola.
But what is the difference
between the three?
The Vino da Tavola is a wine
made by the producer as he sees fit
to make it. It is usually sold in jugs
and is now sold in tetrapacks,
however if you shop around you
can find some quite good ‘table
wines.’
DOC stands for
‘Demoninazione di Origine
Controllata.’ This means that the
wine comes from a specific
vineyard, locality or region and is
produced using traditional
methods.
These wines are usually of very
good quality.
Wine labeled: DOCG (or
Demoninazione di Origine
Controllata Garantita) certifies
that the wine has been produced
under strict government regulations
and indicates its area of origin.
The extra ‘G’ at the end of this
labeling term is intended to signify
a wine of guaranteed high quality.
These wines are usually of the very
best quality. The term Classico,
followed by the name of the locality
where the wine was produced,
specifies that the wine was
produced from grapes grown in the
oldest vineyard area in that locality.
The term, Riserva, after the name
of the wine certifies that the wine
has been aged for at least three
years before bottling.

Completed in 1375, it went under
successive dominations including
Venetians, French and Austrians. It became
a museum in 1925, and in 1957 the
architect Carlo Scarpa started restoration,
